The homey comfort of this Sweet Eggy Bread Pudding is unmatched by any other dessert with the arguable exception of homemade Peach Ice Cream on a hot southerny afternoon. Granted when served with the Easy Jack Daniel’s Caramel Sauce this dish leans more heavily toward a cold weather dessert than a summer favorite. It is as romantic and as luscious as delicious coupling by a maple fire in lodge stone fireplace on a snowy winter night. But substitute a scoop of salted caramel ice cream for the sauce and a spring and fall favorite is born.

Remove from heat and add the Tablespoon of whiskey previously set aside to the top of warm sauce. Carefully flambé (ignite) and let alcohol from whiskey topping burn off. (Cover with a metal lid to extinguish if necessary.) Spoon over Brioche Bread Pudding and sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt. Serve immediately.
